Push Rewind

It's been another relatively quiet week in the PlayStation Nation, which marks a rare two in a row. This appears to be the calm before the storm, however, as every scribe at Push Square Towers is currently staring wide-eyed at the forthcoming review abyss. Enjoy the silence.

Apotheon - 8/10

Apotheon is not perfect, but it's still more than fit for a God. Minor crashing and design issues aside, this gorgeously presented action platformer packs plenty of variety beneath its pottery-inspired shell. Plus, who doesn't love Greek mythology?

Super Stardust Ultra - 7/10

It's hard to describe Super Stardust Ultra as a disappointment, because the core gameplay loop – almost eight years after its original introduction – is still as enjoyable as ever. That said, this doesn't feel like the next frontier for Housemarque's revered shooter series – more like a stopgap along the way. Veterans should know that, outside of some visual enhancements and extra modes, this is pretty much Super Stardust HD. That's not necessarily a bad thing, of course; newcomers are encouraged to take aim at this right away.

Feature: 10 Japanese Games That Have Us Hyped in 2015

2015 is looking like a pretty good year for games from the East, especially with Japanese developers now turning their attention to the PlayStation 4. Whether you're a fan of manga and anime adaptations or role-playing games, there's quite a bit of excitement to go around, although we do need to point out one thing before we continue: Final Fantasy XV isn't featured in this article. Why? Well, because we reckon that it probably won't be releasing before 2016 – at least, not here in the West. As such, there were a number of titles that we had to leave off this list because of their unconfirmed launch dates, but nevertheless, we think that there's more than enough here to get hyped about.

EA Hints at Huge Positive of Bringing Titanfall 2 to PS4

Colour us surprised: we were pretty confident that the original Titanfall would be at the very least announced for the PlayStation 4 by now. If you go back and listen to the Xbox console exclusivity confirmation, the words used were "for the life of the title" – a wishy-washy statement that didn't seem to preclude a 'Game of the Year' type edition from deploying on Sony's next-gen super machine.

Dying Light Developer Looking to Stomp Trophy Glitches with PS4 Patch

No Techland title is complete without some big bugs, and while Dying Light is a lot more polished than some of the Polish studio's previous products, it's still got some major issues of note. Most of these apply to the Trophies, with a handful of these being glitched. A post on the developer's official forums notes that the trinket which requires you to complete all of the game's side-quests doesn't currently ping, putting the Platinum out of reach. A quick look on Trophy tracking site PSNProfiles.com confirms that this is the case.

Insomniac Seems Ready to Talk Ratchet & Clank PS4

Insomniac Games has finally broken silence on its forthcoming Ratchet & Clank reboot for the PlayStation 4. The release was originally announced during Sony's E3 press conference last year, but has been missing in action ever since. With the Burbank-based developer done promoting other platforms, though, it finally seems ready to talk about its mascot's return.
